Definition
Unpleasantly rough or severe, especially to the senses; grating to the ear or rough to the touch. Something harish is stern or unkind in manner or quality.
Etymology
From Middle English 'harsch,' likely derived from Old Norse 'herrskr' or related Germanic roots meaning 'rough' or 'harsh.' The word evolved through Middle English with the 'h' sound becoming more prominent. Modern English 'harsh' developed as a variant or related form, with 'harish' representing an archaic or dialectal version.
Kelly Says
The word 'harsh' and its variants show how English absorbed Nordic and Germanic influences—many 'h' words in English (like 'harsh,' 'harsh,' 'hurl') came from Old Norse contact during the Viking age and medieval period!
